The Canadian women’s hockey team will begin their knockout round play with a quarterfinal matchup against Germany Saturday at 10:40 a.m. EST/7:40 a.m. PST.
With the exception of an historically bad defeat to the United States, Canada’s women have been their usual, dominant selves, outscoring their other opponents 14-1 during the group phase.
The biggest Canadian storyline heading into Canada’s quarterfinal tilt with Germany is the status of Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin, who was injured during Canada’s 5-1 win over Czechia Monday and missed Canada’s last two games. She was seen back at practice on Friday.
Team Canada faces a German side led by Laura Kluge, who has already racked up seven points (three goals, four assists) in the tournament.
Germany ended the group phase with a 2-1-1-0 record (Two wins in regulation, a win in overtime, and a regulation loss) and have been strong relative to the competition they’ve played thus far in the tournament, barring a 4-1 defeat to Sweden in their tournament opener.
But as good as Sweden is, the Germans are about to face a serious step up in class with a Canadian squad that’s still expected to win the gold medal — horrible loss to the U.S. in group play be damned.
Canada is still on a collision course with the United States in the gold-medal game. Because teams get re-seeded after the quarterfinals, Canada and the U.S. should end up on the opposite end of the semifinal bracket, should everything go according to plan. The expectation is that these two cross-border rivals should once again clash with gold on the line on Feb. 19.
